Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Deal with small splits early
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Remedial sealant in Lochluichart: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Lochluichart station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Lochluichart Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Lochluichart is about 24 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Lochluichart to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Lochluichart is one of them.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Lochluichart need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Lochluichart
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
